After losing in the World Series for the second consecutive year last October, the Los Angeles Dodgers showed up to Camelback Ranch for Spring Training in February as a team on a mission to get back to the pinnacle and win it all in 2019.
Every season has its ups and downs, but the Dodgers are a veteran club that has been through it before so they were able to build a big division lead early in the season that was simply too much for the other teams in the National League West to overcome.
The Dodgers took their first step in returning to the World Series on Tuesday night as they defeated the Baltimore Orioles to clinch their seventh straight division championship.
